Denmark: A European Marvel

By now you should be extremely hungry and ready to eat dinner. If you're up for the walk, head towards Strget. Ask any local for directions, they'll be happy to help out and direct you, in perfect English. The Danes, being a nation of only five million, expect their citizens to learn a second language so they can succeed outside of Denmark, but they don't expect any foreigners to mangle their tongues by trying to speak the Danish languages.

Up until World War II, German was the second language that the nation was expected to adopt, but following the inevitable bad blood that followed and occupation, the government made a wise decision to drop German in favor of English. So don't be afraid to ask a Dane a question in English, they won't get offended at all, and no, Danish girls don't find it cute when you try to speak their language.

After having a Nordic goddess point the way to Strget, you should take a walk in either direction to find a restaurant to eat. There are few truly great restaurants in Denmark, so grab a bite to eat at the first place that grabs you. Hopefully, you'll get a window so you can watch the traffic of people flood by. It is often said that Strget is nothing more than a catwalk for Danish women, so make sure you get a good seat and enjoy the show.

With your overpriced dinner sitting well in your stomach, you might as well take a walk until you're ready to go out for the night, because almost every store in Denmark closes at 5:00pm, some even earlier — and the only things open after that hour are restaurants, bars, clubs, and cafes.

copenhagen at night

For your first night, your best bet is to take your overflowing energy and head to Rust — a hot club in town (Guldbergsgade 8, 2200København N). Be sure to dress to impress, otherwise you'll more than likely get turned away at the door.

When you finally get in the club, order yourself a mixed drink since beer is best left to the cafes and bars. No matter how your evening turns out at this club, you'll be glad you came and probably won't get home until the very early hours of the morning.

For Nightlife Lovers: Copenhagen is a paradise. Bars generally have their last call at 5:00am, and clubs are filled with the most beautiful women in Europe. Generally a short walk around Rådhuspladsen (City Square) and you'll stumble across some form of nightlife to suit your needs.
